When OS screws up he does a damn fine job of it!!!

[Omaha Steve]

Keep this kicked so everybody will know what happened.

I woke up before the alarm and I started looking over news and email. Then I started posting at 4:40 this morning. I knew I had a few hours to post and then the rest of the day would be shot. I had to stop by the credit union before going with friends to a 10 AM showing of The Avengers. (awesome BTW) This afternoon Marta and I were going to do lunch and I had a doctors appointment at 3:15 for my hands to set up my first carpal tunnel surgery.

Just before I was getting ready to leave I found a labor post on a site I trusted. Shame on me. In a hurry without looking I set up the post from the Daily Caller. OOPS! I posted it in three different groups. I made one reply after that and left for the credit union, then the theater.

When we got to the theater at 9:30 the 10 AM showing didn't have enough reserved seats together for all us us. So we waited for the Bistro showing at 10:55. That would be the first showing of the day. We were the first to go in. We had plenty of time to kill. Conversation was fine. They have wi-fi. So I checked my posts. It was then I discovered how bad my mistake was.

I deleted all three.

Because we got out an hour later than expected we din't have enough time for lunch before the doctor visit. Got my wrists and thumbs injected with lidocaine. I'm going to wait on the surgery. From there we went to our favorite pizza place. Then home to post this.

I'm posting this in the three groups.

Those over at the Daily Caller can kiss my

1. I can't figure out how you screwed up

But you post so many great things that one (or three) boo boos should be no big deal. I'm sure no one is likely to hold an honest error against you.

3. To quote British comedian Peter Cook.

I've learned by my mistakes and I can repeat them exactly.

(From the Frog and Peach sketch with Dudley Moore.)

I have always found those words somehow comforting whenever I fuck up, which although such occurrences I try to minimize always seem inextricably to creep back into my life.

I keep trying to find a scapegoat, but for some reason I always come back to Peter Cook.

Relax, OS. You are human like the rest of us. Just keep remembering Peter Cook's sage words, and things will be okay.

My best to you.
